Analysis of men with persistent sexual side effects after stopping Finasteride
Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss.
The goal of this study was to determine if there was a measurable deficiency in androgens in men who reported persistent sexual side effects after stopping Finasteride.
CONCLUSIONS:
We found no evidence of androgen deficiency, decreased peripheral androgen action, or persistent peripheral inhibition of SRD5A in men with persistent sexual symptoms after Finasteride use. Symptomatic Finasteride users revealed depressed mood and fMRI findings consistent with those observed in depression.
